The Journey

This journey is ‘About Us’, Myself and my dear students who have been my constant source of inspiration. This amazing journey was made possible only due to their support, their belief in me and above all the mutual confidence that we built over the years.
I taught them French and they taught me to soar.

How did it all begin?

It was way back in 1995 when my neighbour’s daughter needed some help with her French. French was introduced to me during my school days, however had lost touch by then. With this chance encounter, I got an opportunity to use all my (school) knowledge to support my neighbour. She excelled at her tests and within a few months, four of her friends also wished to join. I was a Travel professional and took to teaching French over weekends. This paved the way to my journey of learning and teaching French!

A passionate turn

These were my humble beginnings which took a passionate turn. I enjoyed my French classes and soon decided to equip myself with the DELF certifications. Since then, there was no looking back. Over a period of time, I had the opportunity to teach French at various schools, colleges and Institutes and have tutored over five hundred students- academic as well as professionals pursuing the language.

“French in France” – A Dream Come True!

For any aspirant pursuing the language, “ French in France” is a dream come true. Having signed up for a French Immersion Program (B2) at the Stendhal University in the quaint city of Grenoble, I lived this much awaited dream. It was an enriching experience which further strengthened my bond with the French language.

Learning through teaching

In 2018 I was appointed on the Panel for French Paper setting at the Mumbai University. This gave me an opportunity to interact with eminent French Professors. Further to skill up my pedagogy for facilitating learning of a second language, I completed the Trinity Cert-TESOL Certification Program in 2019.

EXCELL FRENCH was published

At any level of learning french,  it’s important to build upon a firm understanding of the grammar to hone one’s conversational and writing skills. Through Excell French, I wish to share with the learners all about French Grammar that I wish I had known as a student.

So I present these ‘Self-help’ Books and courses to make learners self-reliant and enjoy learning this passionate language.  

Like it’s said, ’The best person who can help you is ‘YOU’. 

Humbled by the overwhelming response to EXCELL FRENCH in its very first year of publication we wish to broaden our horizons. MERCI !!!

Learning French can be easy
as it shares a lot with the English language.

Where French and English actually differ, is when it comes to Grammar.

This book is amazing. It presents everything related to a topic in a single place and in a concise form. Everything was tangled in my mind about French grammar, but it untangled it so easily. I wish books in other languages were that clear.
